Change your fuel filter. That can definitely be causing the problem. Also inspect your main relay, it's located underneath the glove box. Check for bad solder joints. If the fuel filter needs changed, do it. If that diesnt fix the problem, it kind of sounds like heat soak to me. Like the computer is in limp mode. Do you have an intake? Do you live in a warm environment?

If your spark plug wires aren't seated all the way properly it could be arcing. Thats why I don't bother with autozone, pep boy, o reily, napa, advance parts. With oem they snap into place.
